The Chancellor’s Commission on the Status of Women is accepting nominations for outstanding faculty, staff, and students who have worked to create a climate that encourages women-identifying individuals to succeed at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. These efforts may be by an individual, organization, or department within the institution.

To qualify for an Outstanding Contribution to Women Award, recipients must demonstrate a sustained and tangible impact on the campus community. Three awards will be given, one for faculty or staff members, one for students, and a third for a department or organizations. Recipients will be invited to attend the annual Women’s History Month Celebration on March 10.

Nominations can recognize individuals or groups from the campus community. A complete nomination should include a nomination form, nomination letter, and two additional letters of support. Additional supporting documents may be included, but is not required.

Nominations, which are due Feb. 23, can be submitted online. Complete details are available on the commission’s website.
